Mining Meets Virtual Reality

A Groundbreaking Innovation for Mine Site Planning

Mining companies struggle with the need to obtain and share information from numerous non-interoperable software packages across different organizational silos. For non-technical stakeholders (especially those that are external), accessing and using such software (not to mention viewing all this data at one time) is impossible.

MineLife VR is innovating and disrupting the mine planning process for some of the world’s largest companies, by centralizing this data into an interactive and stunningly visual Virtual Reality experience, and making it accessible on-demand, remotely from anywhere in the world.

Comprehensive Mine Planning Data, Unified At Last

Mine Design & Planning

Engineers, geologists, and executives can utilize MineLife VR to communicate from one centralized data source. This common and easily accessible dataset unlocks new perspectives, surfaces potential issues sooner, and speeds up plan iteration.

Networked sessions enable colleagues and experts to visit the mine site and collaborate, even when geographically separated.

Community Relations

Government and community stakeholders can walk through the mine plan and see how nature will return to the site post-closure, with region-accurate flora and fauna. More people can experience visiting the mine site, while eliminating safety risks and the issues of travel logistics and carbon footprint, potentially speeding up the permitting process.

Resource Management

By integrating GPS and sensor reporting into MineLife VR, management can be given a 3D dashboard of where operators and machinery are located at any given time, as well as any other meaningful data represented on a per unit basis.

This provides complete visibility at any time, unlocking just-in-time adjustments based on changing conditions.

Investor Relations

An engaging and easy-to-understand communication tool that conveys a progressive, high tech message to the public and shareholders.

Tools for creating fly-through videos turn the software into a cost effective method for generating unlimited marketing and presentation assets, with instantaneous turnaround.

Within 4 months of adopting MineLife VR, customers including Teck Resources report saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in site visit costs, while accelerating project timelines by up to 6 months.
